Bruce DeRuntz, PhD, Rhonda Kowalchuk, PhD and John Nicklow, PhD from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale describe an innovatie program for transitions community college graduate to bachelor degree graduates in engineering and engineering technology in 2 1/2 years. This paper is included in the Conference Proceedings for the ASQ 2012 Advancing the STEM Agenda Conference at UW-Stout July 16-17, 2012.
Abstract provided by the authors: Students, universities and industry are all struggling during these economically challenging times. Students face rising tuition costs, universities face a reduction of state funding, and industry has a looming shortage of future technical leaders. Developing industrial and government partnerships to support the development of America’s future technical leaders has become imperative. The Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s (SIUC) Leadership Development Program (LDP) meets many of these pressing problems.Mon, 9 Jul 2012 01:00:00 CDThttp://asq.org/edu/2012/06/leadership/industrial-and-stem-partnership-creates-engineering-student-leaders.html?shl=109161SIUE Engineers Without Borders Recognizedsite://College of Engineering/news/2012/07-02-2012.html

CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Three Southern Illinois University Carbondale students are among just 60 nationwide named to the annual USA Today All-USA College Academic Team.
Lee Stewart (Dowell), a political science major, and Jessica Stout (Taylorville), a physiology major, each have a place on the "First Team" as defined by USA Today, and Jordan Kabat (Waltonville), a 2011 mechanical engineering graduate, is on the third team. All three are University Honors students and Presidential Scholars.
"This is one of the most prestigious academic honors in the country, and we are extremely proud of Lee, Jessica and Jordan," Chancellor Rita Cheng said. "They are in the company of students from other distinguished universities, including Rice, Cornell, the Naval Academy, Northwestern and the University of California at Berkeley. But it is important to point out that ours is the only university with two students on the First Team."Wed, 25 Apr 2012 01:00:00 CDThttp://news.siu.edu/2012/04/042512amh12002.htmlStudent team's project earns EPA accoladeshttp://news.siu.edu/2012/04/042412tjc12030.html
